This partnership follows a similar deal between OpenAI and the Associated Press (AP) five months ago, where OpenAI licensed part of AP's archive. However, some news organizations have expressed concerns about the use of AI on their copyrighted materials, calling for a framework that allows them to negotiate with AI model operators over the use of their intellectual property.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI has partnered with media company Axel Springer to provide summaries of the latter's content from Politico, Business Insider and Bild in response to queries asked of OpenAI’s AI tool ChatGPT.
- The partnership is aimed at enriching user experience with ChatGPT by adding recent and authoritative content on a wide variety of topics.
- The collaboration will also help Axel Springer in its AI-driven ventures that build upon OpenAI’s technology, using content from Axel Springer media brands to advance the training of OpenAI’s generative AI.
- The partnership comes five months after the Associated Press announced its own deal with OpenAI, allowing OpenAI to license part of the newswire’s archive.
